Pollan explores a lot of things in this book, but what strikes me most is the idea that gardening is actually a partnership between humanity and nature. He discusses this in the context of a rose garden, a Zen garden, and even a vegetable patch.
Ultimately, it is this mingling of human ideals and life’s processes that makes the garden beautiful and productive. It is an essential part of our relationship with the planet. It is why Second Nature remains one of my favorite garden memoirs.

A recent report from Arup found that cities need to become ‘spongier’, allowing more stormwater to soak into the soil and roots, rather than run off and flood streets and homes. A spongier city absorbs more rain and is cooler during extreme weather events.
But it is also important to remember that Auckland is losing its urban trees at a rapid rate, which is threatening the city’s ability to remain spongy. Trees also improve air quality and help keep temperatures cool by absorbing heat from the sun.
